To be realistic Tom, it all depends on How much a person is willing to pay for it.
Original value (purchase price from original film company) really doesn't count. Take Blackhawk features. A classic Laurel and hardy of "Son's of the Desert" was well over 100.00 dollars, (someone can no doubt state the actual price on this forum).
You will rarely get that.
UNLESS!!!
There were very few prints of a specific title. For instance, I just bought a print of "Close Encounters" scope. I paid 400.00 dollars for it, and that's a lot of money for me. I could actually make even more on it conceivably, depending on who wants it. (I'm not selling, so don't ask, BUT Kevin Faulkner IS!! Let the feeding frenzy begin for the Faulkner print! Unless he already has a buyer.)
Close Encounters was a very low number of prints, (between potentially 15 to 30, but I don't know for sure), and that stands as long as all those prints still exist.
Your print of that particular feature isn't all that common of a print. There are other factors. Which film company released thew print? Blackhawk prints tend to be of better quality than other film compnaies prints. If Blackhawk and, lets say, Walton films both released feature prints of this, which film companies prints are better?
but the biggest factor really is DEMAND!!!
A good example of that are the Derann Disney features. Some still can get a lot of money. I've seen Pinnochio go for close to what it originally sold for. On the other hand, i bought an early Derann print of Snow White, (completel with the two bonus trailers with it), for only 150.00.). From what I've seen, quite a few Derann Disney's really don't get as much as other prints. This is no reflection upon Derann, of course, as these Disney prints are just about as good as Super 8mm can come!
Having said all that, I would say around 100.00, as I don't hear that one come up all that often. Perhaps more ...
depending on demand!

That's why I didn't bother to get this title. I know that there are funny moments to it, but I HATE OPERA, in any and all forms! (hisssssss ...)
I did like portions of "Babes in Toyland", but i disliked the musical numbers so much, I cut out all of that and made it a 800ft. version with laurel and Hardy's comedy bits, and even though a good portion of the story was gone, it is still wonderfully good, (just love that "dunking" scene)
It would even work well as a 400ft, with just the boys going off to work and then dealing with a most annoying toy solgier.
